Once again the FME offers insight to the current state of Finnish metal music. The previous years have proved that there is great interest towards such an event. The location of Cable Factory has been filled to the rim with metal enthusiasts, with about 5000 visitors attending each year seeking out the latest in band, media, event and merchandise offerings. Therefore, we have managed to increase the expo area to accommodate the growing interest. Again, there are more than 50 exhibitors showcasing their latest products and services in the exhibition area.
